It really was a twist the last 5 minutes, didn't see it coming at all.
I don't think its that BS doesn't have enough room for 69 planes, its just they'd have to have a larger crew for that and it seems like everyone is busy.
Starbuck is Starbuck, enough said.
Keep shiny!

3) Why would Starbuck sleep with Balthar after she caught him in the lab with his pants around his angles dry humping a lab bench? And why he'd stop after she called out Lee, shoot, I don't care when Mrs. Veteran calls out Mal or Jayne.
Ah, but how would you feel if she called out her boss's name? Or her ex-fiance's brother's name?

4) An aircraft carrier has like 69 planes, seems like the Galactica is bigger than carrier but Apollo said something about only having 40 vipers.
Don't forget that Galactica was on its way to decommissioning when the Cylons attacked. Frankly, I'm surprised they have as many Vipers as they do.

Cally/Kaylee anyone?
Both impish, cute young normally proportioned women with a way with all things mechanical.
Coincidence? I think not.
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

A link to those pictures instead of the images.
Yes, the women are beautiful, but the poses are ridiculous. I'd prefer not to have to scroll thru them. I mean, they completely forgot the "OOPS! I dropped my pencil, let me bend over and pick it up" pose.

I have a real problem with the whole sound in space thing. I don’t know why. I guess because I expected more from BSG. For some reason I was under the impression that the new BSG wouldn’t have sound in space. I cringe every time a viper or a Cylon ship flies by with a Doppler sound effect. It makes me notice all the other ridiculous things, like the jet plumes in space. How do you get jet plumes in a vacuum? This is what I want to know. Lately I’ve also begun to notice that sometimes the ships will bank when they turn! Bank against what? E.G. in the episode before last, when Starbuck disobeyed orders and jumped to Caprica unexpectedly, she turned her Cylon ship away from Apollo’s ship, but not only did she bank when she did it, she also readjusted her lateral vector after the bank. Why? What azimuth plane is she adjusting to? She’s in space! There is no up or down, so why readjust the lateral aspect? Am I the only one who notices this stuff? If I didn’t already shave my head, I’d want to pull my hair out.
I can’t say that the new BSG is necessarily better then the old one. I will say that I am very surprised with how good the story turned out. It really lived up to expectations, which was not easy. I’m not only a very hard sell on science fiction in general, but I was biased against this new BSG, and its rather liberal use of artistic license in casting the characters. I’m quite captivated by how this thing with Boomer is going to work out. It’s interesting that of the two Boomers (Boomer-on-the-Galactica and Boomer-on-Caprica) both of them seem to be traitors to one side or the other.
The Cylon raiders evidently are cybernetic, not strictly electronic. The problem with this is that the Cylon raider requires a source of oxygen as well as a high ambient pressure for its internal mechanics to operate. So the Cylon raider must divert considerable energy and framework to maintaining internal viability and a single puncture that breeches the haul will ‘kill’ the raider. Does this really offer an advantage over a purely electronic system which could stand to be much more robust? I don’t know, but given what I’ve seen of the Cylon’s strategies I should think they would have preferred to go with a large highly robust offensive capability, and leave the “thinking” as it were to their early deployed specialists, but they didn’t ask me.

I am with you Finn, a lot of solid points. Didn't think about the azimuth adjustment until I read your post. The only Sci Fi movie I can think of that made a point of showing that the orientation of the ship is irrelavant in space was 2001: A Space Odyssey.

My problems aren't as scientific, it just seems like technology has only evolved in the space travel field. For example, whenever the crew listens to media feeds they are using radios that look like they came from WW2! And why does the president speak at a podium with a microphone, yet the ENTIRE press corps (and there seem to be a disproportionate number of them. How many different news outlets are operating in this post-disaster world? Because the only reason there are so many media at big events is because everyone sends there own reporters/photographers, etc. I don't see the point anymore)...let me continue, the ENTIRE press corps point there own microphones across the room. Does the mic on the podium not work? Also, the world Help and Boomer are stuck on seems REALLY behind for being one of the major planets. I'd say the technology is exactly what we have now! I guess they couldn't maek things like holographic windows and electronic doors on their budget. There are other things I could list, and I know the Galactica uses SOME old equipment for security reasons, but I doubt the things I mentioned would be included in that.
And just for the record, the whole fixing the Raider with her flight suit didn't sit well with me either. I don;t know what kept it from being sucked out in an instant the moment she got into space. Didn't anyone see the last Alien movie?

I have a real problem with the whole sound in space thing.
It is possible that the sound is generated and projected by the computer targeting system into the viper cockpit 3D surround sound system to give the pilots an edge with spatial orientation regarding cylon ships... I know, I know you are laughing but think about it, an audio 3D surround complete with doppler effect would be invaluable to a pilot in a crazy furball!
Or maybe they just stuffed up and put sounds in space..

I dont recall seeing any jet plumes but any chemical thrust propulsion in the vacuum of space would have ejecta emission, maybe that is the plume.

The Vipers have many attitude jets all over them so it seems to me that they could bank by thrusting forward and applying attitude thrust as well. As to the rest of your complaint I am completely lost.
I own the original BSG DVDs and was a big fan back in the day but I have to say the new BSG kicks its ass well and truly.
